Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 12, 2016

.Good morning fellow DT and Kadaver fans!.Smoke pellets again, eh?

Poor pitiful AbnerHe’s never going to learnDispite his tricks, tocks and ticksHe’ll never a victory earnHe’s nothing more than a Bert in his LahrWith blistering roars, backed by cowardly fearHis obsessive quest for Olympic goldHas always left him desolate and coldThe match is met the verdict is inAgainst this foe he’ll never taste winBetter to fade into the mist of the fightBefore Tracy emerges victorious this night.

Gweedo wittingly remarked,Yes, Bee ! This one-trick pony act is wearing out fast !-——————————————————————.Good morning Gee!

From that angle, Kadaver is looking a lot like the DC comics villain The Gentleman Ghost.

Let the attempted murder of Dick Tracy commence……

The Gentleman Ghost is still around and appeared in a Batman comic just this week

Gentleman Ghost was Hawk team rogue. Batman: The Brave & The Bold had his show up as well.

.This guy caught my eye. Anyone know him?.

In other words, “I’m going to take so long to get this done, detective, that you’ll be able to slip away… again…”

He’s nothing more than a Bert in his Lahr

.

“Put ’em up, put ’em up!”

btw, for the record… I “called it” a few days ago that this brouhaha would begin with a few well placed smoke pellets

I guess Abner thinks Tracy wears a mask too. Dont we all?

Standing with your back to the falls on a mist-soaked landing, then setting off a smoke grenade. It’s like his plan is to make Tracy kill him.

I’ve got the 1980’s Secret Origins issue devoted to the Phantom Stranger. Four different possible origin stories. I remember one where he was the Wandering Jew. There’s one where he was an angel that tried not to take sides during Satan’s rebellion, and who was cast out of heaven and hell. I can’t remember the other two origins.

Abner must be a fan of Billy Joel’s music!

Av, if one goes back in time and read your first poetry, and then sees it now, they could not deny that you have come a long way! You’ve mastered the fine art of verse! Moreover, you have mastered the ability to get a subliminal message across without being obvious! Bravo!

Kadaver shouldn’t force Tracy to cough.

Let’s see if he who lives by the smoke pellets, dies by the smoke pellets.

After Flashpoint (2011), Phantom Stranger was retconned into – get this – Judas Iscariot, although he was never explicitly referred as such by name.

Will they BOTH go over Rauchenbach falls? Will there be a “Return of Dick Tracy” ? To Be Continued..

Masks hide who you areWhat you say and how you actMasks hide ugly truthRemove mask expose selfHow brave are you feeling now

I’ve always wondered why they ask you to turn your head ?Is it so you don’t see the look of lust as they fondle your “jewelry”I don’t think it’s anything that crazy. I always thought it was simply because they didn’t want you to cough right in their face.

Abner and his drama. Bleah.

Replying to abdullahbaba999’s comment, though the "reply’ button appears to be stuck …

I’d actually been pushing for a story where Tracy appeared to be dead for awhile, mostly so the rest of the cast – and the world at large – could go on about what Tracy meant to them, and how his absence would effect them going forward.

Often, the ‘Deceased’ will rather conveniently show up at their memorial service.

See also the STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION episode, “The Next Phase” for an example of precisely that.

Much love for “The Gentleman Ghost” today. :)

Could be, Gweedo!

A ht! A palpable hit!

Kadaver with his standard smoke pellet ploy scores first blood (albeit not literally) in this match. Or does he? Wouldn’t a smart detective have learned to expect this and come prepared (nose plugs, or maybe a little oxygen container such as one might find for sale in the airport shop at a major European transit airport)?Round 2 tomorrow….

Av, when you stop under the bridge tonight to feed SDM, check to see if Otto is still sharing the same refrigerator box and tell him to get back to posting! We need to up the readership here!
